Vindicating your disregard with novelty.
New life, new work, new people.
The hopes I have,
Everything will be coming back to how it was before,
After all these have subsided.
Future that seems to never come.

Vindicating your disregard with adjustments.
Filling my mind with hopes.
Uncorrected, unintended, unforeseen.
Temporary this will be, I told myself.
Mistake.
It’s been forever.

Vindicating your disregard with suprises.
Your nailed lips never even whispered,
Surprises you never even imagined.
Hoping for your presence to arrive,
You never have, never will be!

Vindicating your disregard with my love.
Finding comfort on what was and not is.
Satiating the days between our exchanges.
But reality remains….

The bloody red curtain has dropped.
The show is over!
